That justice might be done to purchasers and creditors in the act of resumption, thirteen trustees were authorized and empowered to hear and determine all claims relating to those estates, to sell them to the best purchasers; and the money arising from the sale was appropriated to pay the arrears of the army.
It passed under the title of a bill for granting an aid to his majesty by the sale of forfeited and other estates and interests in Ireland; and that it might undergo no alteration in the house of lords, it was consolidated with the money-bill for the service of the year.

In the house of lords it produced warm debates; and some alterations were made which the commons unanimously rejected.

They seemed to be now more than ever exasperated against the ministry, and ordered a list of the privy council to be laid before the house.

The lords demanded conferences, which served only to exasperate the two houses against each other; for the peers insisted upon their amendments, and the commons were so provoked at their interfering in a money-bill, that they determined to give a loose to their resentment.

They ordered all the doors of their house to bo shut that no members should go forth.
